Kind stranger comforts baby on plane so pregnant mom can take a break

The internet is reaching for the tissues after a stranger's kind gesture to a mom traveling with her baby earlier this week.

Teacher Monica Nelson, who is pregnant, had been anxious about flying with 20-month-old Luke without her husband there to help, according to TODAY. Her fears were confirmed when Luke started to grow restless on the plane.

That's when fellow traveler Reid swooped in. Reid offered to help, and when Nelson agreed, he took Luke in his arms, soothing him as he walked up and down the aisle.
